The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® of Tri-Town will hold its annual event at the Old Rochester Regional High School, 135 Marion St., Mattapoisett on June 8 and 9. The relay will honor cancer survivors and all those we have lost. The Relay will feature games, raffles, music and lots more! Everyone is welcome and all who come are sure to have Lots of Fun! The event begins at 4:00 pm on Friday June 8 and will end at 10:00 am on Saturday morning. The Relay is an overnight relay-style event where teams of people camp out around the High School track and members of each team take turns walking around the track for the duration of the event. The event is a celebration to mark the end of a lot of hard work and many fundraising efforts held through out the past year by many volunteers and participants from the Tri-Town area.
The world’s largest grassroots fundraising movement, Relay For Life, mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide participants with an opportunity to fight back against the disease. Relay brings together friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, faith-based groups . . . people from all walks of life – all aimed at furthering the American Cancer Society’s vision of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
The Relay for Life gives the Tri-Town community a unique opportunity to contribute to the American Cancer Society’s mission of saving lives, by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures, and by Fighting back! The impact that all of us in the Tri-town can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone! Lets work together to help make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone’s life. Together we can make a difference to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
This is a GREAT family-friendly event for the entire community and ALL are welcome! Come join in the fun and spend a few hours celebrating life and spend time with friends and neighbors throughout the Tri-town area!
